Quiz Exercise

A quiz is the one exercise type marked the moment it closes: every question has an answer a machine can check, so you see your score without waiting for anybody to read your work. A quiz also runs against a clock — the working time starts when the quiz starts, and when it runs out your answers are handed in as they are.

Start the Quiz

Open the quiz from the course's exercise list. What you see next depends on how your instructor set it up.

Where each student takes the quiz whenever they like, Start Batch begins your run and the clock with it.

Where the whole cohort takes the quiz at once, there is nothing to press: the page waits, and turns into the questions by itself the moment the quiz starts.

Answer the Questions

Each question carries what it is worth, and the question types differ in how you answer them:

  • Multiple choice — tick the options you believe are right. Round buttons mean exactly one is correct; square ones mean any number may be.
  • Short answer — type into the gaps in the text.
  • Drag and drop — drag the items on the right onto the places in the picture they belong to.

Artemis saves your answers as you go and the status bar at the bottom says when it last did. Submit hands the quiz in early; if you do not, what you have answered is handed in when the working time runs out.

Your Result

The moment the quiz closes it is marked, and the page turns into your result: the score, and every question with what you answered beside what was correct.

A drag-and-drop question shows your own placement first. Show Sample Solution replaces it with the correct one, which is the quickest way to see what you put in the wrong place.
